Hello,
these are claudications, although you have not provided detailed information regarding your underlying problem, it seems that it likely due to blockages which have worsened over a period of time.
You should get ultrasound Doppler or ct angiography of the abdominal vessels to look for exact status of the blockages and you may need another stent for these. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
